To copy arrived messages to your mailbox to +inbox and list up a list of the messages, use ‘i’. The mailbox is determined according to ‘mew-mailbox-type’. (When you type ‘M-x mew’ and if ‘mew-proto’ is ‘+’, messages are also copied according to ‘mew-mailbox-type’.) Here are summary of its values.
A local mailbox. "incm" is used to copy messages for the local mailbox by default. To know how to configure it, see See section Configuration.
A POP server. To use POP as it is. (This is a default value.)
An IMAP server. This is not recommended.
To flush a list of messages in a local folder and display them again, use ‘s’.
To retrieve messages or flush-then-retrieve messages again in a remote folder, type ‘s’. It is recommended to use ‘s’, not ‘i’, for IMAP and NetNews.
If you use ‘s’, it asks you a range. Here are a summary of important ranges for Mew.
From "the last message in the Summary mode + 1" to "the last message in the corresponding folder". That is, the gap between the Summary mode and the existing folder
All messages in the folder. When Summary mode in a local folder becomes inconsistent, use this range to flush the list. For a remote folder, this range results in retrieval of all messages again.
Deleting cache messages whose originals were removed in the server side. Valid for remote folders only.
The default range both for +draft, +queue, and +postq is ‘all’. For other folders, the default is ‘update’. So, just type ‘RET’ after ‘s’ to get the up-to-date list of the current folder except +draft, +queue, and +postq.
Although they are not especially important in Mew, you can specify the following ranges:
From <num1> to <num2>. Valid for local folders only.
From <num1> to the last. Valid for local folders only.
From the first to <num2>. Valid for local folders only.
Last <num> messages.
If you execute ‘s’ with ‘C-u’ on a remote folder, you can toggle "copying a header only" and "copying both a header and a body". This action can be defined by ‘mew-pop-header-only’, ‘mew-imap-header-only’, and ‘mew-nntp-header-only’ for POP, IMAP, and NNTP, respectively. The default values of these are ‘nil’, that is, "copying both a header and a body".
Messages that are of large size may be truncated. This kind of message is marked with ‘T’. To retrieve the rest of this kind of message, type ‘I’ on the message.
Suppose that there is a message marked with ‘T’ in $inbox. If you type ‘I’ on it, you can retrieve the entire message.
Here is a summary of the commands concerned with message retrieval:
In a local folder, fetch arrived messages, store them to the +inbox folder and create a list. If ‘mew-auto-flush-queue’ is ‘t’, send messages in +queue. Please refer to See section Sending a message for more information. In a remote folder, visit to its inbox folder and execute ‘s’ + ‘update’.
Perform ‘i’ with ‘mew-auto-flush-queue’ reversed.
Retrieve the rest of a truncated(‘T’) message.
If you use this command in a local folder, a method to retrieve the message is determined by the "case" and ‘mew-mailbox-type’. If ‘mew-pop-delete’/‘mew-imap-delete’ is ‘t’, delete the message from the mailbox.
If you use this command in a remote folder, a "case" and protocol is determined by the folder. The message in the server side is always retained.
Perform ‘I’ with ‘mew-pop-delete’ or ‘mew-imap-delete’ reversed.
List up messages in Summary mode or flush them.
On a remote folder, list up messages in Summary mode by toggling "copying a header only" and "copying both a header and a body".
Copy a cached message in a remote folder to a local folder.
